Day-care centers found to give unhealthy care
Auditors find children have easy access to sewage, chemicals, other hazards
The Associated ,Press
WASHINGTON - Some chil
dren in day-care centers and fos
ter-care homes are exposed to
raw sewage, scalding-hot water,
household chemicals, insect in
festations and littered play
grounds, federal auditors say.
Auditors with the Department
of Health and Human Services'
inspector general's office say
some preschool children may
also be spending their days with
child-care workers who have
criminal backgrounds.
The findings were based on
inspections of 149 licensed day
care, foster care and Head Start
programs in Nevada, Wisconsin,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Delaware and Virginia. Com
bined, those child-care providers
were serving more than 6,600
children.
The auditors also looked at
106 Native American Head Start
programs in Alaska, Arizona,
California, Idaho, Nevada, Ore
gon and Washington.
The purpose of the reviews,
which continue in Missouri, is to
determine whether child-care
providers that receive federal
money comply with federal, state
and local health and safety stan
dards, and to assess state over
sight of day-care facilities.
An official of the inspector
general's office says the agency is
not ready to draw any conclu
sions about the quality of child
care nationwide, but Sen.
Christopher J. Dodd sees a prob
lem.
"The pattern of health and
safety violations across states is
disturbing," says Dodd, D-Conn.
and the chairman of a Senate
subcommittee on children and
families. "Pinched budgets have
forced many states to cut back on
staff for monitoring programs."
Color photographs in the au
ditors' December 1993 report on
child care in South Carolina doc
ument the problem: money bags
and a money box stored in a
freezer with food; a dirty kitchen
floor with dead cockroaches; an
uncovered trash can with putrid
materials in a kitchen; cans and
garbage strewn across a play
ground; no toilet paper in a bath
room; toxic chemicals and clean
ing supplies, hammer and nails
within reach of children.
Although the federal govern
ment subsidizes day care for
low-income families, it relies on
the states to ensure that local
centers meet health and safety
standards.
Many states, however, are
having trouble protecting chil
dren from unsafe and unsanitary
conditions, according to a 1992
General Accounting Office study
that blamed budget cutbacks for
reductions in oversight.
There are also no national
standards for day-care centers,
and, according to Wyden, only
19 states require criminal back
ground checks of day-care
providers.
Professor

as well as undergraduates.
Although he will not be teaching this semes
ter, Moore will be developing some new cours
es in building design for the center.
He said he would like to bring in real-life de
sign problems as opposed to using textbook
problems and would like to see students taking
tours of buildings that are under construction
on campus.
Moore said he sees his new job as a challenge
because he will be interacting with students.
"Being involved with the students is what's
important," Moore said.
He also wants to stay at A&M until he de
cides to retire.
"The things I would like to do will take
longer than two semesters to complete," he
said.
Moore may begin teaching classes as early
as this fall.
Sirls ages 8-16, located in the heart of the Ouachita
Lake and Mountain Region in Arkansas, is now
accepting applications for summer staff positions.
